Prometheus' birth has two sides of stories behind the myth. Most people, in that time period, weren't sure who Prometheus' mother was. His father, on the other hand, was Iapetus, one of the Titans. One of Prometheus' mothers in the stories was Clymene, one of the Oceanids, and the other version has it that Asia, also one of the Oceanids, was Iapetus' spouse (Parada 4). Whatever the case was, Epimetheus was Prometheus' brother. Later in life, Prometheus would tell Epimetheus not to accept any gift from Zeus because of the vision he would get from his

Prometheus was especially known as the 'god of fire'. This was so because in one of the myths, Prometheus was said to have stolen the fire from Zeus. Later, Prometheus would pay for this. He was also considered to be a "supreme trickster", 'creator of mankind', a "master craftsman", and a "forethinker" or a predictor of the future. Zeus, the king of all the gods who had been tricked by Prometheus to accept the fat and bones as the traditional future sacrifices he commanded to man, later took the fire given to man by Prometheus and hid it in anger. Later, Prometheus took it back or stole it from Zeus and brought it to Earth for man again. In this, Zeus sent a Pandora to Epimetheus as a punishment for fire and Prometheus' 'siding' with mankind. Epimetheus later married her, even though Prometheus had told him not to do so or warned him. After that, mankind never again had been as privileged as before again (Britannica 1).

There are also two stories or sides to his marriage or mate or spouse that Prometheus chose. Some say it was Pronoia, and some say it was Clymene (Parada 5). The Clymene mentioned is ironically the same Greek figure as mentioned in the myth about Prometheus' mother (Parada 4-5). However, the only version of his offspring or child of his own was Deucalion (Parada 5). Deucalion shared a common interest in the love of man during the Great Flood like his father had (Hunt 1; Parada 2). During the Great Flood of the lands of Greece, Deucalion would learn to recreate men by throwing rocks over his head as commanded by his wish granted from Zeus because of his accomplishment of surviving. This was a similar trait that would be shared by father-and-son.

The first being to ever discover Prometheus' torture on Mount Caucasus was a starving heifer-like creature named Io, Inachus' daughter, who had come for awhile to visit him regularly. She had exchanged stories with Prometheus by telling each sides of their misfortunes (Hamilton 95-99). Later on in time, the outcome of the myth ended when some say Hercules set Prometheus free by shooting the eagle and then releasing it (Parada 2)
